Senator Ossoff blamed Trump administration tariffs for job cuts among small businesses and urged a policy reversal. This represents congressional criticism of trade policy impacts.
This is routine congressional criticism of executive branch trade policy. Senator Ossoff's statement represents normal legislative oversight and policy disagreement - a core function of Congress. No constitutional damage drivers are triggered: no election interference, no rule of law violation, no separation of powers breach, no civil rights impact, no regulatory capture, no corruption, no violence. The mechanism is labeled 'policy_change' but this is merely criticism urging reversal, not actual policy change or constitutional violation. Tariffs are within executive authority under existing trade laws. A-score: 0 (no constitutional damage). B-score modest: mild outrage bait around job cuts (2), low meme potential (1), standard media coverage (2), slight narrative mismatch as tariffs are complex policy not constitutional crisis (1), minor narrative pivot attempting to frame economic policy as crisis (1), pattern matches routine opposition criticism (1). Intentionality low (3) for partisan timing. Layer1: 2.75*0.55=1.51, Layer2: 0.75*0.45*1.13=0.38, Totalβ8. Classification: A<25, no mechanism triggered, clear noise indicators of routine political debate. This is standard democratic discourse, not constitutional threat.
Monitor for actual policy changes or constitutional overreach in trade authority, but routine congressional criticism of executive policy requires no action. This is democracy functioning normally.
